Finance Director - Plymouth - Circa: £85,000 + Company performance related bonus + future equity options
Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been exclusively retained to source an experienced Finance Director to join a young and very rapidly expanding services business that now trades across multiple continents. This is a full time, permanent opportunity which will be based at the company’s UK headquarters in Plymouth.
This is a newly created role within the business where the successful candidate will have complete autonomy in designing and implementing a full range of financial systems and processes, as well as recruiting and developing a small finance team. The role blurs the lines of Finance Director and CFO, with a broad balance of operational and strategic responsibilities. The FD will work closely with the CEO and a highly experienced management team, assuming lead responsibility for the company’s ongoing financial strategy. Key responsibilities include:
1. Day to day management of the current financial health of the business and future financial strategy
2. Regular production of management information to be presented to the senior management team with full commentary
3. Full accounting for North American and European subsidiaries
4. Reporting of statutory accounts
5. Working with the CEO, senior management team, and external stakeholders on business strategy and financial support
6. Developing and implementing digital systems and processes in preparation for future growth
7. Assuming a lead role in costing and forecasting for all entities of the business and future projects
8. Leading cashflow management and budget setting
9. Developing strong relationships with external stakeholders, customers, and key suppliers
10. Project and materials costing analysis and planning
11. Overseeing payroll for a growing headcount of colleagues
12. Working with external accountants to prepare for the annual audit
What we’re looking for: Almost certainly a professionally qualified individual (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), with experience gained in a number 1 or 2 capacity in a business operating above audit threshold. Commercial and strategic experience gained in a multi-layer company trading across an international landscape and working in multiple currencies is essential. Exceptional leadership, supervisory, and team development skills are required, along with high-level technology skills and the ability to design, implement, and develop ultra-efficient accounting systems and processes. Experience in the marine sector would be advantageous, but exceptional commercial experience gained elsewhere will also be considered.
The key here is sourcing a candidate with a natural talent to make things happen and enhance the business without needing constant guidance. This is an incredible opportunity for a genuinely ambitious and motivated individual, either currently operating at FD level or feeling ready for a challenge at a different level.
Curious? We hope so. For further details and to apply for this interesting proposition, please contact Steve Roach or Alex Callister quoting reference SR9285.
